Anyone watch Horizon last night want to try fasting for weight loss and general health?

I might try 6 days on and 24 hours off has anyone tried this and does it work?

Well done on the weight loss, Achillea!

Sounds like you've got your head around it and it's working for you.

Thanks for confirming the 16 hour window issue - that's exactly what I thought so am consciously trying to leave this gap of time.

The hunger waves are tough at times; I just remind myself of the short number of hours left until I can eat again. I too eat 400 in food and 100 in milk - have to resort to black coffees when the milk allowance runs out. I do seem to be using coffee to suppress my eating which isn't probably the best way forward.

Am going to try and get some more info about nutrition recommendations of how to use the 500 calories on fast days. Will share any info I find.

My weigh day tomorrow - hoping for 1lbs loss.......fingers crossed........

1lbs weight loss!! Very happy!

Been off the wagon for a few days, back on today so I'm not weighing myself til tomorrow morning!

Well done Pink, I wouldn't worry about suppressing your eating with drinks, you will need lots of drinks as otherwise you get dehydrated. The food you would normally eat would contain lots of fluid that you won't be getting on fast days.

I've got a weightwatchers ready meal out for tonight, at least I can be sure of how many calories I am taking in.

I need to start doing some exercises now to draw in that loose skin!
